1984 Toyota Corolla KE70 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fun in the wet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The coil failed when I first bought it.
Recent thermostat problems have caused overheating.
General comments?
This is without a doubt the worst car I've owned. That's why it's so much, as I don't care about hurting it.
It has not had any major problems since I got it. And uses hardly a drop of fuel.
I love drifting around corners and rear wheel drive corollas seem to be made for that.
The car's had three accidents without requiring repair, every panel is bent and it looks kinda cool.
